One of the many reasons why baseball is great: every game is different. Not just every game, but every inning, every plate appearance. Maybe not always, but enough of the time that baseball is just a series of infinite constellations, always showing you something new and wonderful. That wide variety, though, makes the things that aren’t very different stand out. Like, specifically, this nonsense game.
The last game we covered was from the 2014 Braves, who staged a ninth-inning rally to tie a game they had trailed pretty much from the get-go. They ultimately lost the game in 13 innings, after David Hale allowed the opposing team to put up a five-spot in extra innings.
